Answer:

(a) 95% confidence interval for the percent of all adults who want to lose weight is (48%, 54%) that is between 48% and 54%

(b) to say that we have 95% confidence in this interval means that there is 95% chance that the true percentage of all adults who wants to lose weight falls in this interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is missing, complete question is below:

A Gallup Poll found that 51% of the people in its sample said "yes" when asked, "Would you like to lose weight?" Gallup announced: "With 95% confidence for results based on the total sample of national adults, one can say that the margin of sampling error is ± 3%."

(a) What is the 95% confidence interval for the percent of all adults who want to lose weight?

(b) What does it mean to say that we have 95% confidence in this interval?

Confidence Interval can be calculated using p±ME where

  • p is the sample proportion of national adults who want to lose weight (51%)
  • ME is the margin of sampling error (± 3%)

Answer: 213 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

A=2(wl+hl+hw) is the formula. l = 6, w = 3.5, h = 9 for this problem.

2([3.5 x 6]+[9 x 6]+[3.5 x 9])

2(21+54+31.5)

2(106.5)

A=213

Sorry if this isn’t a great explanation. Hope this helps.

Write an equation of the line passing through point P(−8, 0) that is perpendicular to the line 3x−5y = 6.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

y = -5/3 * x - 40/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A perpendicular line has an opposite and a reciprocal of the slope.

Your equation should be:

-5y = -3x +6

Divide all parts by -5.

y = 3/5x - 6/5

Since the perpendicular line has an opposite and a reciprocal of the slope, the slope will be -5/3.

Now you must make an equation in point-slope form. This is an example of that form. You will need at least one point to make this equation work. In this case we have (-8,0).

In put the y and x coordinates like this:

y - 0 = -5/3(x - (-8)

Start solving the equation.

y - 0 = -5/3(x + 8)

y - 0 = -5/3 * x - 40/3

y = -5/3 * x - 40/3

This is your equation.

y = -5/3 * x - 40/3

(You can make it -5/3x in your answer but it looks weird online. You may think that it is -5 divided by 3 times x, but it actually is 5/3 times x. That's why I wrote it as y = -5/3 * x - 40/3)

Circletown's limits form a perfectly circular shape. It has a population of
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

3.64 Km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total population = 20,000 people

Population density = 480 people per square kilometer

Area of the circle town

A = \dfrac{20000}{480}

A = 41.667\ km^2

Radius of the circle town

\pi r^2 = 41.667

r = 3.64\ km

Hence, the radius of circle town is equal to 3.64 Km.
